234 S COOP AUTUMN 2014
54 2013 PEPPERILLY ESTATE WINES
CHARDONNAY, GEOGRAPHE $22
From the Ferguson Valley in the up-and-
coming Geographe region, this chardy is
pure class. If you like wines with texture
and food-friendliness, look no further.
Grapefruit, peaches, grass, and a hint of salt
and toast abound, with a chalky texture and
balanced acidity that makes this wine big yet
delicate all at once. Roast a chicken or whip
up a buttery pasta for this beauty.
56.5 2013 VASSE FELIX CLASSIC DRY
WHITE, MARGARET RIVER $19
We love it when the wines that won’t break
the bank grab gold medals. And this tasting,
all the whites seemed to fit that bill! At less
than $20, this semillon/sauvignon blanc from
a classic Margaret River winery delivers plenty
of citrus and stone fruit, along with white spice,
talcum powder and a hint of in-balance sweetness.
And when it came to matching food choices, our
judges said, “Thai curry, please!”

GOLD WINNERS
BRAD WEHR
Wine by Brad, Mantra | Whites
with texture and/or richness
A very strong class, with only a handful of
wines not awarded medals. Chardonnay
was by far the dominant player and
this group clearly showed why WA is the
leader of the variety. Very pleasing to
see a diversity of styles too; some with
lean elegance and restraint, others with
richness and generosity. Of the other
wines, the viognier stood out for its lovely
structure, layered flavours and freshness.
54 2013 MILLBROOK WINERY
VIOGNIER, PERTH HILLS $22
From another up-and-coming region, the
Perth Hills, and from Damian Hutton, the same
winemaker as Pepperilly, viognier can be a fruitier,
richer alternative to chardonnay. This version’s
got a heady perfume of stone and tropical fruits,
marzipan, and something slightly minerally
and salty. There’s a hint of sweetness and that
characteristic richness, with white flowers and
ginger to finish.
